Chapter 299: A Land King Has Been Auctioned Off!

Qin Xue read the restored document word for word.

Afterward, she dialed Xu Zongchao's number.

"Third Brother!"

Qin Xue's tone was grave yet carried a hint of pleasant surprise.

"Chen Ping stole the new hospital site selection document from Tang Ye's office; the plot is number 58.

I had people check, and this is land that was just approved. It's in the West District; although the location is remote, it is right next to the Hanzhou Railway Station business district."

On the other end of the line, Xu Zongchao stroked his chin in thought.

A moment later, he asked in a deep voice, "Is the information reliable?"

Qin Xue responded immediately, "The mole inside Haihua Group sent word that they are currently preparing for the bidding of several commercial plots surrounding plot 58. Moreover, Zhu Junting specifically hosted Tang Ye a while ago—dining, hot springs, and she even found a famous female Host from Hanzhou Television to accompany him."

A sinister, cold smirk curled the corners of Xu Zongchao's mouth: "I didn't expect the kid to have a taste for that! Daring to mess around outside just after getting married—he's got quite a lot of nerve."

Qin Xue pressed, "Mr. Xu, what should we do next?"

"Zhou Chengwu hasn't announced the new hospital site yet, but judging by Mayor Xiao's tone, that plot by the railway station is indeed promising.

This project is being pushed by Zhou Chengwu and Jiang Jing together, and as Jiang Jing's Secretary, Tang Ye is highly likely to know the inside scoop.

Since Haihua Group has caught the scent, we absolutely cannot fall behind.

Organize a team immediately; no matter what method you use, you must secure the surrounding commercial plots."

Qin Xue cautiously probed, "The budget and the bottom line..."

Xu Zongchao's voice carried unconcealable excitement.

"As long as the plots are in hand, the profit will more than double! Go ahead and do it; I will support you with everything I have. I will be meeting with several more capitalists recently to strive for more bargaining chips."

Having received Xu Zongchao's promise, the heart Qin Xue had been holding in her throat finally settled: "Alright! I'll go arrange it now."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Zongchao leaned back comfortably into his leather chair, his mouth full of mockery and triumph.

The project that Zhou Chengwu and Jiang Jing spent so much effort pushing—in the end, wouldn't the one who profits the most be himself, this "speculator" who cut in halfway?

On the surface, Xiao Jingyu is retreating step by step in his power struggle with Zhou Chengwu.

But in reality, as long as Xiao Jingyu has his support from the shadows, he can secretly control the economic trends of Hanzhou!

October 28th.

The 2006 Hanzhou Sixth State-Owned Land Use Rights Auction was held as scheduled.

This feast of land auctions in the railway station business district attracted over ten developers to compete.

Among them, Haihua Group and Mingsheng Group were the most formidable in strength.

On the electronic bidding screen in the auction hall, the numbers jumped frantically as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.

At the start, there was still some restraint, with each bid increasing by no more than 10,000 yuan.

However, as time passed, the smell of gunpowder grew increasingly intense.

The bidders were no longer satisfied with small skirmishes; as soon as one developer threw out a 1 million chip to raise the total price, someone immediately countered without hesitation.

As her gaze swept inadvertently toward Qin Xue not far away, Zhu Junting's heart sank abruptly!

She never expected Mingsheng Group's pursuit to be so ferocious.

What shocked her even more was that Qin Xue seemed to be able to see through her bottom line, with every bid precisely stepping on her psychological defense line.

The suffocating pressure made her almost unable to breathe.

Qin Xue nodded slightly to her assistant, who understood immediately and quickly raised the bidding paddle.

This time, Zhu Junting chose not to fight hard.

She was betting all her chips on the auction of the final plot of land.

However, Qin Xue did not intend to give her a chance to catch her breath; after a dozen rounds of intense bidding, Zhu Junting, under the pressure of rationality, finally gave up the fight for the fourth plot of land in frustration.

The dust settled.

Mingsheng Group won a complete victory in this bidding.

Qin Xue walked slowly toward Zhu Junting with a victor's smile on her face.

"Ms. Zhu, thank you for letting me have this today. If you are interested, why don't we sit down and talk about cooperation another day?"

Zhu Junting's eyes were as cold as frost as she mocked, "Ms. Qin has driven the price so high and gobbled up so many plots at once—aren't you afraid of indigestion?"

Qin Xue laughed triumphantly: "If I didn't have reliable information, how would I dare to go all-in like this? Of course, it's also thanks to Ms. Zhu's persistence with this land, which actually gave me more confidence."

Zhu Junting turned away in anger and left quickly.

Watching her back, a look of smug satisfaction curled the corners of Qin Xue's mouth.

Once the new hospital site announcement is released, today's madness will all be meaningful.

Sitting in the back of her sedan, Zhu Junting dialed Tang Ye's number, her tone full of helplessness: "I have some bad news to report to you. Plots 62, 63, 74, and 76 were all snatched up by Mingsheng Group in the end."

"What was the transaction price?"

"An average of 820,000 yuan per mu, far exceeding our budget."

Generally speaking, a bid price exceeding 50% of the starting price is considered unreasonable!

Now it's close to one hundred percent!

They actually auctioned off a land king!

"What? The starting price was only 420,000 per mu, how could it be so outrageous?"

"Didn't you say plot 58 would be the new hospital site? These three plots happen to surround 58, plus the development potential of the railway station business district..."

"When did I ever say plot 58 was the new hospital site?" Tang Ye interrupted.

Zhu Junting was stunned!

"The new hospital site hasn't been announced yet. According to my judgment, it is unlikely to be plot 58."

Zhu Junting: "......!!!"

Seeing that Zhu Junting did not speak, Tang Ye continued talking to himself.

"Those plots of land are near the business district and indeed have investment value, but a unit price of 820,000 is truly outrageous. As far as I know, Mingsheng Group is likely betting their entire fortune this time. Within three days, the Municipal Government will announce the document for the new hospital site. Once plot No. 58 is not selected, Mingsheng Group will inevitably fall into a desperate situation due to their misjudgment."

Zhu Junting's eyes lit up instantly: "In that case, we can take the opportunity to buy at the bottom..."

"Sister-in-law is truly quick-witted," Tang Ye said with a smile, "You must seize this opportunity well."

Zhu Junting took a deep breath: "But regarding plot No. 58, you hinted at it many times before... Could it be that I really misunderstood?"

"No. 58? That's my lucky number. Every time I go to a bathhouse, I choose locker No. 58;

If I'm getting a massage, I also specifically pick technician No. 58."

Tang Ye teased half-jokingly.

Of course, Zhu Junting did not believe this explanation.

She finally understood that she had unknowingly become a pawn for Tang Ye to lure the enemy into a trap.

However, although she failed to secure the land plot as she had wished, Tang Ye had already pointed out a clear path for her to harvest their opponent.

Zhu Junting hung up.

Tang Ye slowly put down his phone.

His tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and he let out a heavy breath of stale air.

Every link was under Tang Ye's control.

Since.

Xu Zongchao had once used unscrupulous means to set a trap for Xie Miao.

Now he was paying him back in his own coin.

This revenge was not merely a dispute of pride.

He also wanted to make Xu Zongchao spit out all the fiscal appropriations he had previously stolen.

He had not expected Xu Zongchao to be so crazy.

What he would spit out would not be as simple as 500 million!

If nothing unexpected happens, what awaits Xu Zongchao will be—

A desperate situation of a broken capital chain and a collapse of assets...
